    Big Bang – Shout Out To The World! (English Translation) [2009] Shout out to the World: TOP “I came here because of that string of hope. Where do I stand now? I ask myself this but even I don’t have a specific answer yet. During the process where I search for my other self, all my worries will fade away because I must find the person who will lend his shoulders to me.” ~TOP Name: Choi Seung-hyun Date of Birth: November 4, 1987 Skills: Rap, Writing lyrics, Beatbox *Starred in the KBS Drama, ‘I am Sam’ The power to awaken a soul, sometimes it takes pain to be re-born. [~ Pt.One~] -I once wanted to be a lyric poet that composed and recited verses.- I became mesmerized with ‘Hip-Hop’ music when I was in Grade 5. I went crazy for this type of music because I listened to it all day and carefully noted all the rap lyrics. If we have to talk about Hip-Hop music, I have to briefly talk about the roots of American Hip-Hop. When I first started listening to Hip-Hop, it was divided up into East Coast and West Coast in America. Wu Tang Clan and Notorius B.I.G. represented the East Coast (New York) scene and they focused largely on the rap and the lyrics, while representing the West Coast (LA) was 2Pac who focused more on the melody. Although at that time in Korea and from my memory, more people listened to West Coast hip hop but I was more into the East Coast style.

Defining and measuring maternal-fetal attachment from the woman’s perspective. Volume One Sandra Sandbrook BA (Joint Hons.), RN, RM, ADM, MTD, Cert. Ed (FE) A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Wolverhampton for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2009 The right of Sandra Patricia Sandbrook to be identified as the author of this work is asserted in accordance with ss.77 and 78 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. At this date copyright is owned by the author. Signature: …………………………………………………… Date: ………………………………………………………… 1 Sandie Sandbrook Abstract Existing commonly used maternal-fetal attachment instruments have not been thoroughly tested for reliability and validity; criticism can be levelled for a variety of problems ranging from lack of reliability due to an inadequate underpinning framework to facilitate objective interpretation to limited generalizability due to the sample. The aim of this study is to acknowledge the centrality of the mother, to use the experiences of pregnant women to generate a definition of maternal- fetal attachment and ultimately create a tool that will act as a reliable, valid and simple measurement. A mixed method framework utilising a sequential exploratory strategy has allowed qualitative exploration of the phenomenon under investigation followed by quantitative testing of the emerging theory on a much larger and different sample. Phase 1 involved face to face open structured interviews on an opportunity sample of 10 (5 primigravid; 5 multiparous) women in the final trimester of pregnancy followed by 3 focus groups targeting specific groups – primigravid women (6 participants); multiparous women (7 participants) and teenagers (4 participants).

It employs Hebrew poetic verse forms to pay homage to the story’s origins. This style contributes to diversity of voices in English-speaking theatre outside of Western poetics. My Blue Scarf shares a well- known and multicultural story to contribute to the diversity of contemporary American theatre and promote conversation about cross-cultural relationships in a time of division and prejudice.

  • Factors Affecting Participation Behaviors of Pregnant Women Who Jointly Received Two Different Nutrition Supplements in Bangladesh
    FACTORS AFFECTING PARTICIPATION BEHAVIORS OF PREGNANT WOMEN WHO JOINTLY RECEIVED TWO DIFFERENT NUTRITION SUPPLEMENTS IN BANGLADESH A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by JISUNG WOO January 2017 © 2017 JISUNG WOO ii ABSTRACT FACTORS AFFECTING PARTICIPATION BEHAVIORS OF PREGNANT WOMEN WHO JOINTLY RECEIVED TWO DIFFERENT NUTRITION SUPPLEMENTS IN BANGLADESH Jisung Woo, Ph. D. Cornell University 2017 Low participation in nutrition supplementation can cause the true effects of the supplements to be underestimated. Participation behaviors and their associations with personal and socio-cultural characteristics were examined qualitatively and quantitatively when food and micronutrient supplements were provided jointly to pregnant women in rural Bangladesh to find ways to improve effectiveness of nutrition supplementation by enhancing participation. In-depth interviews (IDI) were conducted with 24 multiparous women in Matlab, Bangladesh to elicit information on pregnancy-related cultural issues and their experiences with supplement use. Quantitative analysis was conducted by using data from Maternal and Infant Nutrition Interventions at Matlab (MINIMat), a randomized controlled trial (factorial design of 2 food and 3 micronutrient groups) that collected extensive information on participants’ (n=4,436 pregnant women) characteristics and program features. Supplement consumption was monitored monthly. Levels of participation were examined in terms of initiation and utilization of food, micronutrient, or combined supplements. Relationships between participation behaviors and potential factors were examined through multiple regressions. Text analysis of the IDI revealed that culture-specific beliefs, attitudes, perceptions, and practices set boundaries to pregnant women’s behaviors, including supplement consumption.

  • “The Greatest Gift Is the Realization That Life Does Not Consist Either In
    “The greatest gift is the realization that life does not consist either in wallowing in the past or peering anxiously into the future; and it is appalling to contemplate the great number of often painful steps by which ones arrives at a truth so old, so obvious, and so frequently expressed. It is good for one to appreciate that life is now. Whatever it offers, little or much, life is now –this day-this hour.” Charles Macomb Flandrau Ernest Hemingway drank here. Cuban revolutionaries Fidel Castro and Che Guevera drank here. A longhaired young hippie musician named Jimmy Buffett drank and performed here, too. From the 1930’s through today this rustic dive bar has seen more than its share of the famous and the infamous. It’s a little joint called Capt. Tony’s in Key West, Florida. Eighty-seven-year-old Anthony ‘Capt. Tony’ Tarracino has been the owner and proprietor of this boozy establishment since 1959. It seems Tony, as a young mobster, got himself into some serious trouble with ‘the family’ back in New Jersey and needed to lay low for a while. In those days, the mosquito invested ‘keys’ (or islands) on the southernmost end of Florida’s coastline was a fine place for wise guys on the lam to hide out. And this was well before the tee-shirt shops, restaurants, bars, art galleries, charming B&B’s and quaint hotels turned Key West into a serious year-round tourist destination. Sure, there were some ‘artsy’ types like Hemingway and Tennessee Williams living in Key West during the late 50’s when Tony bought the bar, but it was a seaside shanty town where muscular hard-working men in shrimp boats and cutters fished all day for a living.
